Union Station (Portland, Maine)
Union Station was a train station in Portland, Maine.
The building was opened on June 25, 1888, serving trains of the Boston and Maine, Maine Central and Portland and Ogdensburg railroads.[1] Designed by Boston architects Bradlee, Winslow and Witherell, it was inspired by the designs of medieval French châteaux.[2] It was a primarily granite building, with a 188 foot (57 m) clock tower.[2]
Maine Central ended passenger rail service to the station in September 1960, and it closed on October 30 when Boston and Maine moved its remaining trains out of the facility.[3] On August 31, 1961, the building was demolished, and a strip mall built on the property.[3]
